168 Walker Street, North Sydney NSW 2060

The people in Mclaren street have put up with demolition work now for around 2 months. This has regularly been around 75db measured inside residential buildings close by.

I note that the anticipated noise levels during these extended hours are lower, below 60 with ambient of around 50.

North Sydney Council should monitor this as the local community is losing patience.

I strongly object to the proposal to extend construction/demolition/excavation hours for the property 168 Walker Street North Sydney (including to 7pm on weekdays and 7-5.30pm on Saturdays).

The health, wellbeing and productivity implications of this kind of long term noise pollution are well known. This area of North Sydney is going through significant redevelopment, which I’m sure will be of benefit to future residents, however this is to the growing detriment of current residents and property owners.

I can understand the developers desires to complete this work as quickly as possible. However especially during this time with residents being encouraged to remain at home as much as possible and workplaces continuing to require working from home this kind of noise pollution for 12 hours - 5 days and 10.5 hours on a further 6th day is detrimental to the mental and physical health and productivity of nearby residents.

I urge North Sydney Council to prioritise the health and wellbeing of nearby residents over the commercial interests of Aqualand North Sydney Development Pty Ltd
